Bacteriostatic Water is sterile water containing 0.9% benzyl alcohol as a bacteriostatic preservative, supplied in a sealed 10ml vial for laboratory use. It is the standard solvent used to reconstitute lyophilised research peptides, and the preservative allows a vial to be entered more than once.

Choosing a reconstitution solvent

Bacteriostatic water suits the large majority of research peptides. A few compounds are less soluble in it and are instead reconstituted using a dilute acid. Our guide covers the difference: Bacteriostatic Water vs Acetic Acid for Peptides. For technique, see our reconstitution guide.
